Dorf fortress is home of not only dorfs but grammer nazis and necro.Hehehe hu ha and whatnot.

They go like this,HAIL GRAMMER!

A facething moment I had was that whole built a retracting bridge instead of closeing drawbridge thing and well it did not function as a door.

When I first started playing a month or 2 ago I lost most of my dorfs <over multiple forts> to being crushed by drawbridges while IMPATIENTLY waiting RIGHT AT THE FRICKING DOOR for me to open it.

(Anyone else have any stories that can compare to a man being beaten to death with his own trousers by a giant gopher?)(when goblins showed up, I mumbled "Smithers! Release the hounds!" and had the lever pulled.)

First FB of the fort, and my mostly inexperienced military. Not that experience mattered... Now that the gate is closed, the smoldering goop is firmly locked outside, and the FB is merrily menacing the more mundane mobs; it is time to train up a new, mostly crossbow oriented, squad or 4, churn out hundreds of bronze bolts, and hopefully manage to set up a suitable vantage point...

I decided to try my hand at surviving a terrifying biome, and knowing the perils I would face, I made 1 dwarf a skilled swordsman. I went to items and saw a copper battle axe. I thought "He's a swordsdwarf, not an axedwarf!", and proceeded to replace it with a bronze sword.

So I find a great crevice that will funnel any invaders into a confined space in their attempt to get to me, and started digging though the stone, and set a bunch of trees to be cut.

Later, I'm digging to clay so I can start my farm, and I see that the trees aren't being chopped down. I realize that I had taken away the axe that would've been used by the woodsdwarf.

So in one of my 10 active games, I hit a adamantine vein that was 31 z levels in depth. Suffice to say I've not wanted for valuable metal. I was in the process of making some instruments (20-35k each) for trade when I noticed I had run out of wafers. I'd been smelting them for a while and couldn't figure out what was going on. I happened to be looking at my hospital trying to figure out how a soldier had managed to get his foot stabbed thought his armor when I saw the color of the sutures he was about to receive. I panicked for a moment and checked the health screen. Sure enough, all my missing adamantine strands had been put into the hospital for use.

Designate a wall to be built where you don't want your dwarves standing around. Suspend the wall before anyone tries to go build it. Remove the build order when you don't need it. Dwarves prefer to stand in clear space over space designated to be walled.

That is called JPEG compression. JPEG is a lossy format meant for photographs, not computer graphics. In photos the image quality lost isn't really noticed due to all the rest of the noise from it being a picture of meat-space. When used for computer graphics, however, noise is added where it normally otherwise isn't, and it can really stand out. ... especially at high compression levels.

Zepave Dawnhogs the Butterfly of Vales the Marsh Titan ... was taken out by a single novice axedwarf and his pet war kitten. Long Live Domas Etasastesh Adilloram, slayer of the snow butterfly!Doesn't quite have the ring of heroics to it...

The moment when Urist McGrumpy decided to visit my fortress. I noticed him when he was quite unhappy and I wanted to cheer him up (sadly it was too late - happiness about 20). But then I found out...First he went to my meeting place and complained about lack of chairs (well I admit 2 chairs for 30 dwarfs isn't much ).Then he made grudge wit about 20 other dwarfs (still don't know why - perhaps they were stealing his chair).After that he went on a bridge which was hanged across a volcano.Next brilliant move was to "throw a tantrum" and destroy this bridge he was standing on.
